on making choices

watching cspan

:: just sayin' :: i was watching sen. lindsey graham (pictured above w/ gervais) wring his hands. i turned the sound off for a little while. very methodical almost sensual hand wringing. i wish i had captured it so i could show you. he was talking about why we need $3 billion dollars in emergency money for border control. he said the emergency was that we had not yet spent $3 billion dollars on border control.

bathing in what you already believe

was at barnes and nobles yesterday and noticed a table on which they had organized political books into two camps. on one side of the table a placard read "blue", its other side: "red". reminded me of this article ::

PRI

for those interested - tonight i will be guest hosting Fair Game on public radio. it will be nationally syndicated - check here to find out when it will broadcast in your area. Features interviews with artist Hassan Elahi, writer Harvey Pekar, as well as music from the fabulous Rachelle Garnier.

:: update - it seems that "national" might be the wrong term for the syndication, so would "quasi-national" or even "kind-of national" :: the podcast, however, will be made available here following the show.
